British Colony 4-Piece Certified silver Specimen Set PCGS,
1) 2 Annas 1890-H - MS67, KM2, Sweeny-MO2
2) 1/4 Rupee 1890-H - MS66+, KM3, Sweeny-MO3
3) 1/2 Rupee 1890-H - SP66, KM4, Sweeny-MO4
4) Rupee 1888-H - SP64, KM5, Sweeny-MO5
Birmingham mint. Amongst the finest assemblage of this sole silver set produced by the former British Colony, with three out of the four not only certifying above the gem level, but also near to the finest yet seen by PCGS--the 2 Annas presented tied for the finest certified. Each piece is imbued with an even rainbow of patina bleeding from sunset margins to blue-green centers, suggesting that the coins have long stayed together as a set, and also confirming their essentially equivalent standards of production, despite PCGS labeling some as specimen and some as business strikes.
